CHARLES GREEN last night threatened to take on UEFA over sex discrimination if they try to block Rangers moving to England.

The Ibrox chief executive yesterday reiterated his desire to take the Glasgow giants out of Scottish football in the wake of league restructure plans.

Green, left, insisted he’s ready for anyone who tries to stand in his way. And that includes Europe’s governing body – who have sanctioned a cross-border women’s league in Holland and Belgium – and the English FA, which has Welsh clubs Swansea and Cardiff in its membership.

Green also floated the idea he’d take Rangers down to non-league level in order to gain a foothold south of the border.

He said: “People say you can’t go into England, for example, because you are not allowed to cross borders.

“Well, there is a UEFA-sanctioned professional women’s league in Belgium and Holland, so there is a precedent.

“Therefore if there was an opportunity to join a cross-border league and it was challenged by UEFA, I would go to Strasbourg and argue for sexual equality.

“Secondly, we’d look at the English league where people say Scotland’s not allowed in. Well, kick Swansea and Cardiff out because they are in a different country.

“There is a big issue at the moment on devolution. I’m not a politician but we can’t have a situation where one of the union is annexed as far as football is concerned but Wales can go in. It’s rubbish.

“I could go and join the Conference and it would be a higher league than I’m in, so it doesn’t matter to me.

“If the only option was to go into English football and start at the lowest level I believe Rangers fans would support that. There shouldn’t be anybody questioning Rangers fans when they see the attendances.

“I got figures yesterday and there are only Man United, Arsenal and Newcastle with average attendances higher than Rangers. Even if you put Celtic in, who’ve played Champions League games, their average over the last eight home matches is lower than Rangers.

“So the fans are behind us and would, I believe, follow us wherever we end up.”
